Help!!! A bad smell that won't go away?

Question

Please help, I've tried all I can think of. My 1 year old has a VERY sensitive gag relfex and he chocked on a piece of bread and vomited in his stroller at a resteraunt. So when we got home, i used a whole bottle of clorox wipes to wipe all the rest of it out that I couldn't get out with the cheap napkins at the resteraunt. I've sprayed it with Febreze and Lysol 4 times now and it still smells like vomit. Does anyone else have a better idea to get rid of the smell? Please help!

Answer 1

I have 6 children and ALWAYS keep a bottle of Odoban around . let me tell you its very promotable for us Moms YES INDEED!!! Wash the area with warm soapy water (I recommend using Tide) let dry then spray with the odoban it'll be good as new!

Answer 2

Try using automatic dishwasher detergent. That stuff has bleach in it and it really cleans well. You could also use that powder stuff that they sell for sprinkling on the carpet.

Leave the stroller outside for awhile, if you can. The air and the sunshine will help. It will eventually go away.

I am more concerned about why your baby's vomit has such a
horrible smell. That doesn't seem normal. You might ask the doctor about that. He may have some kind of medical condition that is making him do that, or an infection in his digestive system.

Answer 3

If it's acidic, baking soda should neutralize it. Maybe mix it with a little bit of water, first, if necessary. Baking soda supposedly does a good job at soaking up odors, too.

Baking Soda and Vomit - from about.com

"The smell of vomit can linger even in clothing that has been washed. Sprinkling baking soda on the site and rubbing it in can help remove the smell when it is washed. This is especially help with baby spit-up"

TOTALLY TODDLER......

You must go to babies r us and buy Totally Toddler!!!!!!!

It will absolutly work. I have 4 year old twin boys and have used it since they were infants. It works on vomit, urine and anything else that can come out of your child. I still use it on my sons animal that he chews on at bedtime. Nothing like the smell of stale saliva. I don't have to tell you good luck because i am so confident it will work. It is a white bottle with pink writing.

Answer 5

Can you take the fabric off and wash it? If not, you may need to get a new stroller. I think that you might be able to use Oxyclean if you make it in a paste (or even try a paste of baking soda).

Answer 6

The fabric should have a way to come off so that you can put it in the washing machine. Other wise you will have to take it outside and scrub the area and leave it out in the sun to dry so that it does not mildew

Answer 7

Read entire answer please because it will make sense.
Go to a pet store and look for products used to remove pet urine from fabric. Many of these products remove other biological stains as well. We used to get one from Petsmart that I can't remember the name of but it came in a white bottle with red lettering and it truly worked.

Answer 8

I agree with Ms.V,natures miracle works awsome for bad smells and vomit,you just put it on and it dries and the smell leaves,works better than frabreeze.

Answer 9

I used a product called NATURES MIRACLE. It is made for pet odors, but I can tell you from personal experiance that it works with vomit.

Answer 10

try washing it in a little bit of vinegar. Seriously, it should take out the stench, but if he don't, then it's probably got to be thrown out cause it's hard to get something like that out of anything.
